Can Dante audio and/or video channels be simultaneously sent to multiple receivers?

The ability for Dante to route audio and video channels simultaneously to multiple receivers is one of its key advantages. Dante operates over an Ethernet network, utilizing IP protocols which allow for flexible multicast capabilities. This means that a single audio or video stream can be sent to multiple destinations without needing to duplicate the original signal.

With this multicast functionality, a single source can be effectively shared among many receivers, making it an efficient solution for audio distribution in applications such as live sound, broadcasting, and installed sound systems. This architecture not only simplifies the system design but also reduces bandwidth usage compared to sending individual streams to each receiver, which is especially beneficial in large-scale installations.

In contrast, the other options imply limitations that do not align with Dante’s inherent capabilities. The design of Dante systems encourages flexibility and scalability, enabling users to route and manage multiple channels seamlessly across a network.
